At this moment, Zhou Xingdou lost all interest in having fun. He felt that he should build his own power outside the Xuantian Dao Sect.
After all, one can't possibly include everyone one summons or follows as guest elders of Nine Profound Peak.
Moreover, being in the Xuan Tian Dao Sect presents many inconveniences. Countless eyes are watching him here, and although they are not malicious, the feeling is still uncomfortable.
I need a place to stay, not too secluded, but safe enough.
After all, there is still the unstable factor of the Prison-Suppressing Sword Peak sweeping across the Nine Provinces, which may attract evil spirits one day, so I need to consider it carefully.
Then I'll bring Yun Jinzhi and Li Xiuru there, so I won't have to run back and forth anymore, and I won't have to worry about being disturbed.
Thinking that Zhou Xingdou was a man of action, he immediately summoned Fahai and instructed him:
"Fahai, I need you to find a secluded place in the vicinity of Tianxuan Sacred State that is easy to defend and difficult to attack."
Zhou Xingdou didn't intend to search for blessed lands, since they were mostly occupied. Killing and seizing land was possible, but there was little need for it.
With the resources at his disposal, he could easily transform a barren land into a celestial abode, without needing to resort to such low-level acts as murder and land grabbing.
After all, in places with truly good feng shui, some sects are not weak. Xuan Tian Dao Sect would not do such a thing for itself; it can only rely on the power it controls.
“Master, Fahai feels that the secluded valley seems to meet your requirements.”
Fahai, holding a Buddhist salute, respectfully addressed Zhou Xingdou.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xingdou's eyes lit up immediately.
The secluded valley was naturally the place where You Ji was captured. It was a very desolate place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. It was naturally quite secretive that You Ji chose it as the place to break through.
Moreover, it is located on the border of Tianxuan Sacred State, neither too far nor too close to Xuantian Dao Sect, which is very suitable for Zhou Xingdou.
"The secluded valley is indeed a good place."
As he spoke, Zhou Xingdou took out a storage ring and threw it directly to Fahai.
Zhou Xingdou was naturally not going to do any manual labor, so the task of transforming the secluded valley should naturally be left to Fahai.
To be honest, it's a bit of an insult to ask a saint to build a house.
But Zhou Xingdou had no other good options. He really didn't have anyone under his command, and Princess Iron Fan needed to protect him closely.
Even as an elder of the Nine Profound Peaks, You Ji wasn't always idle; she also had to keep an eye on Lin Fan for her.
Yuan Tian has not returned yet, so now we can only ask Fahai to do this, since he does look like he's suited for manual labor.
Unlike Princess Iron Fan, whose delicate skin evoked pity and whose beauty captivated Stephen Chow, making him reluctant to let her go and wanting to keep her by his side to savor her.
Fahai accepted the storage ring, which contained hundreds of precious herbs and thousands of spiritual materials, plus ten spiritual veins and several array plates.
Transforming the secluded valley with these things would be effortless, and they would even be more than enough.
Fahai understood Zhou Xingdou's meaning, and respectfully bowed with his hands clasped in prayer, saying:
"Rest assured, Master, Fahai will live up to your expectations and transform that secluded valley into an impregnable sacred land!"
Zhou Xingdou nodded slightly, but still somewhat worried, he reminded him:
"By the way, don't turn the secluded valley into a Buddhist site; just keep it ordinary."
After all, Fahai was a Buddhist, and Zhou Xingdou was genuinely worried that he might turn Yougu into a second Jinshan Temple, which would be quite awkward.
Upon hearing this, Fahai was taken aback. Judging from his expression, Zhou Xingdou knew that he was probably right. Fahai really wanted to rebuild Jinshan Temple.
But now that Zhou Xingdou had reminded him, Fahai naturally had to suppress his plan to build a Golden Mountain Temple in the Primordial Realm and could only cautiously ask:
"Should it be built like a Taoist temple?"
Zhou Xingdou frowned. This Fahai had nothing but Buddhism and Taoism in his heart, nothing new.
To be honest, he didn't have a plan in mind. He then looked back at his Qingxin Hall and murmured:
"Build the main hall according to the Qingxin Hall model, and you can handle the rest yourself."
After saying this, Fahai asked no more questions, respectfully bid farewell to Zhou Xingdou, and then disappeared from the spot with his storage ring.
However, this idea of building his own territory was just a spur-of-the-moment decision by Zhou Xingdou, and he didn't have any major plans for the future.
After all, his top priority right now is Lin Fan, and there are only ten days left until the three-year agreement is completed. Once the system upgrade is finished, it will be about time.
Thinking back, Xingdou also opened Lin Fan's template this week, wanting to see if there had been any changes in him in the past few days.
Name: Lin Fan
[Number of Fate]: 4999
[Affection]: Hatred, tool
[Realm]: Peak of Enlightenment
[Innate Fortune]: Chosen by Heaven (six stars), turning danger into fortune (five stars), choosing death (four stars).
[Postnatal Fortune]: Nobleman in the Jade (4.5 stars), Three-Year Agreement (3 stars), Return of the Deceased Father (2.5 stars), Damage to One's Origin (Negative 3 stars)
[System Reminder]: This child is protected by heavenly fortune. The host must clear his fate before killing him. After killing him, you will receive a massive reward from the system.
The Return of the Deceased Father (2.5 stars): Due to the pull of Lin Fan's luck, his father, who was originally lost in the outer realm and was thought to be dead, unexpectedly returned to the Primordial Realm and helped his son.
...
Zhou Xingdou was initially relieved to see that Lin Fan's cultivation was still at the peak of the Enlightenment stage.
After all, he was genuinely afraid that this chosen one of destiny would cause some unreasonable trouble again, allowing his cultivation to soar even faster than Liu Yanran's.
But looking further down, it was discovered that Lin Fan's acquired fortune had gained another element: the return of his deceased father!
This gave Zhou Xingdou a shock. Was Lin Fan's father still alive?
Not to mention now, even twenty years after his previous life, Zhou Xingdou never saw Lin Fan's father appear, and Lin Fan always thought his father was dead.
But this life has suddenly returned, a change that has surprised even Stephen Chow.
This also reminded Zhou Xingdou of the terrifyingly smooth-sailing fortune he had experienced since receiving Yun Jinzhi's auspicious luck for her husband.
Yes, as Yun Jinzhi's ex-husband, how could Lin Fan's father die so easily?
I blame myself for being too stupid; I never thought of that possibility before.
However, according to the system, Yun Jinzhi's good fortune for her husband has already affected her, which naturally means that Lin Fan's father has lost the blessing of that good fortune.
But why is he still alive? Could it be that Lin Fan's father is also a person of destiny?
It can be said that the appearance of this fortune directly threw Zhou Xingdou into a state of confusion. Is the chosen one of destiny so difficult to kill?
Before he could even set up his own death trap, Lin Fan had already awakened his grandfather ahead of time, and his deceased father had returned.
However, the only thing that relieved Zhou Xingdou was that Lin Fan's fate had not recovered. At least according to Zhou Xingdou's calculations, the current situation he had set up was enough to completely destroy Lin Fan's fate.
But Zhou Xingdou cannot be careless about Lin Fan's biological father. Whether it is because of Yun Jinzhi or Lin Fan, this person must not be allowed to live!
